[M10] Baneslayer Angel, Planar Cleansing, reprints & more...

[quodo]

From a source I trust (I PMed MikeyG with the info), here is some information about M10 new cards and reprints:

Baneslayer Angel 3WW
Creature —Angel M
Flying, first strike, lifelink, protection from Demons and from Dragons
Some angels protect the meek and innocent. Others seek out and smite evil wherever it lurks.
5/5
Greg Staples
Card Nbr: 4


Planar Cleansing 3WWW
Sorcery R
Destroy all nonland permanents.
Michael Komarck
Card Nbr: 24


Gargoyle Castle
Land R
T: Add 1 to your mana pool.
5, T, Sacrifice Gargoyle Castle: Put a 3/4 colorless Gargoyle artifact creature token with flying onto the battlefield.


Most knew of the tower’s wizard and gargoyle. Few realized which was guardian and which was master.
Paul Bonner
Card Nbr: 225


New Remove Soul : Essence Scatter 1U
Instant C
Counter target creature spell
Some wizards compete not to summon the most interesting creatures, but to create the most interesting aftereffects when a summons goes awry.
John Foster
Card Nbr: 51


Bogardan Hellkite 6RR
Creature — Dragon M
Flash (You may cast this spell any time you could cast an instant.)

5/5
Scott M. Fischer
Card Nbr : 128




Negate 1U
Instant C
Counter target noncreature spell.
Masters of the arcane savor a delicious irony. Their study of deep and complex arcana leads to such a simple end: the ability to say merely yes or no.
Jeremy Jarvis
Card Nbr: 66


Cancel 1UU
Instant C
Counter target spell.
David Palumbo
Card Nbr: 44


Wrath is out, Damnation is not in either



Hope it will help filling the spoiler, sorry for the occasionaly bad wording or possible small mistakes

Good lord that Angel is absolutely insane.

Vengeance is pretty nice, too. Good boosts for White. I'm not sad to see WoG go, if only temporarily (I imagine).

EDIT: Didn't even notice Bogardan Hellkite. Nice! Iconic and powerful Dragon card...

[PhanTom]

Seems not reasonable. Especially the new angel and Hellkite coming back.

[plaguezombie]

hellkite back? weird, but cool.
obviously cancel is back... we get lightning bolt/duress, but still no counterspell ><...
rename remove soul? genius! (thinking extended maybe)
negate is back? ><
any word on o-ring?
cool angel.
vengeance is meh...
manland also meh...

[Johm000]

Nice Angel and man-land.

Shame for WoG though. The most iconic staple in Standard is now out.

Hellkite, however, is very very nice.

[Masked_Legend]

I can't see the mana symbols can someone add them?

I seem to remember hearing those "rumors" some times ago somewhere. With teh rename and the new Wrath. Wonder if we can get more out of those older sources.

[Verbal]

Angel seems too good for 5. I mean, pro demons and dragons is, cost aside, definite points in favour, but...5/5 flying lifelink first strike is pretty nutty good. Costing 6 that could could *easily* see constructed play.

[Millatog45]

I still can't really believe that Wrath of God is out so for now I stay hopefully untrusting.

[cerberus]

I don't buy it.

The Angel is a 5/5 flier w/ first strike and lifelink for 3WW? That seems unreasonable. And on top of that it has some protection...

And how do you know damnation and WoG are out? You have the full spoiler?


edit:
And I'm not sure they would print Flash in a core set.

[quodo]

I changed the mana symbols. Copy pasting did it wrong the first time

Edit : I cetainly don't have the full spoiler in my hands, or I would not have given so few informations. The Angel seems really nice, but consider that it comes in a format where terror, path to exile, maelstrom pulse and terminate are available.

[Orbifold]

Hellkite? A red card with flash in the core set? Odd.

[eskay2001]

I don't think the Angel will ever be printed like this. 5/5 flying, first strike, lifelink for 5 mana?? Not going to happen...
edit: sarnath'd a thousand times...

[DanoLefourbe]

I love the angel. I like these tribe-hate things. Pretty fun and deosn't up the cost of this card. Any info on rarity ? Certainly rare.
"Vengence" is nice. Less powerful than Wog, but you shouldn't be able to reboot the table for less than 6 anyway.
Bogardan Hellkite is an excellent surprise. I love that card, and now it's fairly balanced without Dstorm around.
The new manland is fine actually. you can get a creature if you draw too many lands. And it's very flavorful.
Nothing surprising about the counters. Obvious. And fun with the mirroring or negate and remove soul in the same set.

I'm quite okay with every card here. Thanks for the info quodo.

Gargoyles generally have flying...

Thank you.

Does the gargoyle have flying? Seems like he probably should.


I think those cards and tidbits are very reasonable. Wrath will have a good replacement in Zendikar i suppose.
